- Valid proof of insurance must be provided.
- The shoot contract drawn up by production must specify the dates, addresses, conditions to be respected, and shoot procedures.
Fees to shoot in a space managed by the OMHM
- Base fee: $500 + taxes per shoot day to use a space managed by the OMHM. This fee applies to any shoot day, regardless of the duration.
- Additional fees charged outside the OMHM’s normal hours of operation, in addition to the base fee: $75 + tax per hour worked outside of normal hours of operation.
(These fees cover on-site staff for supervision, opening and closing the premises, and electricity costs.)
